I mean, it's a good thing for the players to know the rules.
I think in the second half though, they stopped executing it
So they were going long every time and Kai Havertz got in too many tangles that weren't quite coming off for him.
He's trying to win a foul and instead he's giving away a free kick or he's being a little bit too weak.
I mean, he held the ball up pretty well on some occasions, but once that stopped being effective, it meant that the ball kept coming back and coming back and you always expect that and Arsenal dealt with it well.
They sort of kept it wide and they nullified that, but it did mean that again,
In terms of hunting out a second goal, you've got so far to travel.
And it just made it very, very difficult to even conceptualise.
He pretty much literally played as a defender.
Well, he's only been a midfielder for a month, hasn't he?
In terms of his actual time on the pitch.
And it obviously is a sloppy penalty all day long.
And it is, they were saying in the commentary a lot about how clever it is from Kvarevskalia because he knows once Mosquera is in that position that he's going to legitimately foul him if he just... He's the wrong side.
I think that was right as well because that is a moment where it's not necessarily about you being a danger for a second yellow as much as it is for you being switched off as you're processing everything.
No, I was the same, and apparently everyone in the ground was the same as well.
Mendes as well I think so so the weird scenario for me watching that was that when anything significant happened I could hear people reacting to it outside so there was and obviously the stream's a little bit behind so I heard a big kind of cheer and thought oh something's happened so then obviously Madureka gets into the box and I'm thinking oh he's probably going to be fouled maybe this is a penalty so I'm
It's a very odd situation to look at that in real time when you know what's about to happen.
